I Love SAY Yes

Every time I go to SAY Yes on Monday nights I do not want it to end. I love it.  The two girls I got placed with, Carina and Rosie, I am so excited to get to know more.  This week Carina was not there so Rosie (Carina’s cousin) was having a hard time and wanted to go home.  I was able to talk with her and by the end she was loving it.  It was so cool to see the change of heart she had. Please pray for these two girls!

SAY Yes!

Say Yes! is an evening designed for inner-city youth, to teach them scripture and life lessons.  This week was our first week and it went really well.  I will be mentoring two girls, Carina and Rosie.  Please pray for my interaction with them. That Christ would draw them to Himself.  I am very excited for this time. Pray that I would set a good example for these youth.

I didn’t forget…Don’t worry!

I am working on a letter from my Africa trip, so please be patient…I will send it out as soon as I can

Youth group has started!

Tonight was the second youth group night (last week was the first). The dynamic of this youth group is drastically different from Little Village.  All of the students in my small group are strong believers who live outside of the city. I am not sure what God has in mind but I am looking forward to finding out

Back and Well!

My dad and I had an amazingly smooth trip back from Africa. We arrived in the States yesterday.  God really used the trip to reveal some things to me so Stay tuned for details on the trip and pictures!

Heading North

Tomorrow we head out from southern Senegal and back to the capital of Dakar, and from there we will head north.  I have really enjoyed my time here.  I am learning day to day life as a missionary in Senegal and it is eye opening.  I have a lot to think and pray through.  I want to spend time praying about all that I have experienced before I blog it.   But I will keep you “in my head and heart” has much as possible.  Please pray for traveling mercies tomorrow.

Goodbye Uganda, Hello Senegal

It is 4 in the morning here and my dad and I are at the Ugandan airport to head to Senegal.  Our time in Uganda was wonderful. It was such an encouraging time with our brothers and sisters there.  We were able to go out to 2 different villages.  The first one was doing very well physically.  Their crops were prospering greatly. One guy, Fred, now has over 1,000 banana plants, which is amazing considering he only started with about 4.  The second village we went to are missionaries at heart.  They are traveling across the river to tell their neighboring communitites about Jesus.  One 80 year old brother, said he wants to come to the United States because he hears there are people there who do not know Jesus.  It was so great to see and hear their hearts. Thank you so much for your prayers.  The next couple of days will be long as we have a 9 hour and 45 minute flight to Senegal and then the next day we have like an hour flight to a southern Senegal city.

Half Way There

Dad and I are currently sitting in the Amsterdam KLM lounge and enjoying European hospitality. On our flight from MN to Boston the guy sitting next to me ended up leaving which meant day and I got the whole which is also a blessing. This will probably be the last time I will blog for the next two weeks as I don’t anticipate getting wifi in Africa … But who knows.

Boarding the Plane

My dad and I are at the gate about to board the plane to head to Africa. I can’t wait to see how God is going to use this trip! Thank you so much for all your prayer and support!

“MAKE ME KNOW THE WAY I SHOULD GO…”

God Provides in Strange Ways!

My support is almost at 85%!!!! I spoke with my dad yesterday and we looked at the budgeting closley now that everything is squared away and set and I do not need as much as I had originally anticipated.  My goal is now $4300 instead of $5000. That new goal along with others joining the team my support went up almost 40% in two days!!!! I almost screened when I realized that today.  God provides, even if it means lowering the funds. Be sure to email me at team@heatheronamission.com if you want to be part of this team.
